whether or not they insist on offsets for that debt ceiling increase in the various different steps that they have been demanding unsuccessfully at the voting booth, well, they took a little delay here. that is not to say that they are backing away from it. they will tell you privately that what they are doing is fortifying their defensive arguments, fine-tuning their argument in favor of their agenda to try to combat the newly elected president victory just months ago. it is a tactically very important move. the timing is very important. if republicans have any hope of sort of inserting their agenda into what is obviously a much more liberal contradictory one for the president which is just generally outlined in today's inaugural speech. it is meant to inspire the country and move forward. the hard work of it is not done so much at the white house. it is done by the legislators on the other end of pennsylvania avenue. the president can affect change with the public, motivate them and put pressure on congress. the guys who have to write it are at the other end of the street and that is t

they will extend the debt ceiling to may 19, to go to may 19. but if congress does not get a budget done by april 15, i believe it is, then congress' salary will be held in abeyance. in other words, they won't get paid unless they can agree on a budget. so there's a lot of politics in this but i think this would be seen as a good sign that maybe they are going to at least get past this which would have been just a destructive and largely a waste of time when they should be getting on to other things and make the arguments about what we're going to spend the money on, not whether we pay the bills for things we've already purchased. so i think this is probably the best news we've heard today. >> pelley: the president met with the republican leadership at the white house today before he came up there. looks like there's a lot of effort going on by the president now to reach out to the republican leadership. >> schieffer: there's some heavy lifting ahead and this is at least an indication that maybe they're ready to start trying to deal with that ra
